Operating Instructions
Make sure disposable paper filter dust bag is in place. DO NOT
operate the cleaner without a paper filter dust bag. Plug the
power cord into an electrical outlet and press the
(O) switch on Helping Handle Assembly, or on top of base for
Straight Handle Models when ready to operate.
The performance of your new cleaner greatly depends upon
care and maintenance. The instructions in this manual will guide
you in performing basic care and maintenance. To obtain the
most satisfying years of service read the instructions and keep
them handy for future reference.
The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its
operation:
1. When inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag—
FIRST PUFF OUT and OPEN THE BAG.
2. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT.
3. If at any time the machine does not pick up properly or
makes an unusual noise, STOP OPERATION and service.
4. Although your upright will pick up pins, paper clips, and
other small objects, it is recommended that these be
removed from the floor before you vacuum. Failure to do so
may result in permanent damage to the motor suction fan
and its housing.
5.
wet surfaces. This will cause damage to the vacuum
cleaner and is dangerous to the user. Damage caused by
use on wet or damp surfaces is not covered under
warranty.
6. REPLACE THE BELT EVERY 6 MONTHS.
7. Change the disposable filter dust bag at least once a
month—even if it is not full! The collected dust in the dust
bag can cause odor, attract moisture, act as a breeding
area and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
Do not use your vacuum cleaner on damp or

BAG INSTALLATION:
IMPORTANT:
8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over cord. The revolving
brush could damage the cord.
9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges &
fringe.
Disposable paper filter dust bags play a very important role in
the efficiency of your ORECK vacuum cleaner. The purpose of
the filter bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be
porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the filter bag
becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and
cleaning cannot take place, regardless of the cleaner’s power.
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change
the dust bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE
INDICATED ON THE DUST BAG.
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed
properly.
All paper dust bags are not the same. Your ORECK
disposable dust bags have been designed to be used with
the ORECK cleaner. Using bags other than genuine ORECK
disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability of your
cleaner and could cause damage to it.
The belt on your vacuum cleaner controls the speed of the
revolving brush and is very important for the effective operation
of the cleaner. If the belt becomes stretched or cut, it will cause
the revolving brush to stop completely or slow down. See
instructions in the manual for replacing belt.
An extra belt is stored in the baseplate of your cleaner.
When buying replacement belts, use ONLY ORECK genuine
belts. Belts other than ORECK belts will not operate the
revolving brush correctly and may create undue stress
which will cause damage to the motor and brush bearings.
Using belts other than ORECK belts will void the warranty.
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and
sealed. Further lubrication is not required.
At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint,
string or hair from revolving brush.
Wipe the outside of the cleaner with a damp cloth. Also, clean
the connector deflector
assembly area, base of cleaner
and fan housing area. If there is
dust in the outer bag, vacuum it
or shake it out.
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner
looking new and will ensure
continued cleaning effectiveness.
Use floor and floor finish
manufacturer’s recommended methods of cleaning. The metal
strip on the base of the cleaner could be damaged if used on
concrete or abrasive surfaces, and, therefore, cause damage to
wood floors, soft (vinyl, asphalt tile, etc.) floor surfaces and
polished floor finishes. The roller brush may also scuff very soft
finishes. Do not operate the unit while in the upright and locked
position. Do not let the unit run while in any one stationary
position for any period of time. Keep the unit moving while in
operation.

How to Replace a Worn Belt
WARNING: Unplug cord from
electrical outlet before servicing.
Remove the replacement
belt from the storage
channel.
Remove the door by
removing the hold down
screw located on side of
power head.
Slide the door forward by
prying open with a
screwdriver or coin.
Remove the belt from
the brush roll pulley and
the motor drive shaft.
Loop the new belt over
the motor drive shaft.
Place the opposite end
of the belt on the brush
roll pulley.
Rotate the brush roll
three (3) complete
revolutions to ensure
that no part of the belt is
overhanging the end of
the motor drive shaft.
Replace the door by
sliding it into the groove
at the bottom of the
housing. Replace the
hold down screw.
Stuffing or Blockage
Under certain conditions it is possible to stuff or block the intake
tube and the lower tube assembly. If your vacuum cleaner does
not pick up properly, or makes unusual noise and the outer bag
does not fluff up or balloon open, follow the following steps:
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
1. Check for blockage at the
mouth of the intake
opening. See illustration A.
If there is blockage, remove
it with long-nose pliers, a
screwdriver or coat hanger.
If you can not reach the

blockage, remove
baseplate. See illustration
B.
2. If the blockage is not at the
base, remove lower tube.
See illustration C. Unhook
retainer spring, releasing
bottom of bag. Twist lower
collar counterclockwise to
slide up. Pull tube out of
base. Check for blockage. If
blockage is in the tube,
remove with a coat hanger.
3. If tube is not blocked, look
into fan housing. See illustration D. Remove debris
with long-nose pliers, a
screwdriver or coat hanger.
4. To reassemble, check Oring on tube, and replace if
damaged. Vacuum will not
operate properly without the
tube O-ring. Slide O-ring to
approximately 2" from base
of tube. Replace tube by
first lining up slot at base of
tube with inner tab inside
fan housing. Then reinsert
tube and push down until
the tube is seated. Make
sure O-ring is in place
against fan housing
opening. Replace and
tighten collar until collar
locking tabs are locked in
place. See illustration E.
Make sure collar is not
cross threaded on housing.
